An Australian Army special operations force combat team featuring Special Operations Engineer Regiment reinforcement training cycle personnel prepares to clear a building of threats as part of a training activity at Holsworthy Barracks, Sydney. *** Local Caption *** Australian Army special operations combat engineers and other technical specialists from the Special Operations Engineer Regiment at Holsworthy Barracks, Sydney, offer unique and vital technical enablement skills to the Australian Defence Force's special operations capability. Special Operations Engineer Regiment special operations force soldiers are highly trained to work as an integral part of an expeditionary Special Operations Task Force both within Australia and overseas. Special Operations Engineer Regiment was established on 24 February 2012 from the Incident Response Regiment, which was previously raised in May 2002. The unit's motto is âInter Hastas et Hostesâ, which is Latin for âBetween spears and enemiesâ, signifying the traditional sapper (or combat engineer) role and the enduring unit requirement to operate in the dangerous space between enemy forces and own troops. Special Operations Engineer Regiment reports to Headquarters Special Forces Group, a brigade-level formation within Special Operations Command. Special Operations Commandâs mission is to prepare and employ special operations forces in order to defend Australia and its national interests.
